Karachi, May 15:: The ongoing tussle between the Pakistan Cricket Board and the Senate Standing Committee on Sports and Culture has taken a new turn with five senators accusing the PCB of covering up financial details.

Five Senators, who are on the committee, have called on the committee chairman to ask the PCB to explain some anomalies they have found in the details submitted about salaries paid to the board employees.

The Senators have expressed grave concern on what they term as mis-statement of facts made by senior officials of the board regarding the monthly pay of the PCB during the past meetings of the Senate committee.

The PCB has been asked to explain in writing in next four days the factual position regarding the monthly payroll of the board.

The Senators pointed out that the PCB in its presentation to the committee on May 8 had stated that in the first 10 months of the current fiscal year, a total amount of Rs 240 million was paid as salaries to the employees of the board.

The senators recalled that in an earlier meeting of the committee, the board officials had given in writing that the basic salary of all PCB employees as on May, 31, 2007 amounts to around Rs 6.5 million.

The Senators have written that the difference in amounts quoted by the board is big enough to require a clarification.
